What is the CAT no update error in Destiny 2?

The Bungie support page explains that the Destiny 2 CAT error code indicates that a game update is available. This means that the player’s version of the game is outdated, and they need to update it to be able to continue playing.

To do this, they should exit the game and check whether an update is available, if the download doesn’t start automatically.

As it turns out, if the Bungie or Destiny 2 servers are down at the time the update is scheduled to go out, then Destiny may throw the CAT error. This is a particularly rare occurrence as it would mean that the game servers would need to be active whilst the update servers are down.

Nothing much you can do but wait for the updated servers to come back online.

If the game servers are offline, you will most likely get the CHICKEN error code, which is detailed in an article we wrote.
